You can if the rugby league allow tackles that put Arundel out for the season .legs wrapped round his leg then throne to ground

Re: Arundel n Rocky : Mon Feb 24, 2020 3:21 pm  

Feel for them both.

Joe has had rotten luck while he's been here, and I think Rocky himself, as well as the fans, was looking forward to getting some game time in the halves, in his natural position

Yeah I noticed that too. Makes the first yellow card even more bizarre when put into perspective, although Holmes (?) did milk it by flopping to the ground like a dead cow.

It looked a complete accident to me. You couldn't possibly say it was deliberate. Joe and the club have been very unlucky yet again

This. The TV showed slow motion replays of the incident and if the big screen had been available then I'm sure that dangerous leg entanglement tackle would have at least put on report. He deliberately attacked the standing leg and if he'd hit the standing leg around the knee with his shoulder whilst Arundel unable to defend himself as being tackled in a stationary position by another player the ref would have taken action. As it is no action taken and a player loses a year of what is already a relatively short playing career. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Don't know how many black cats have been run over but it must be a few now! Gotta feel for Joe especially, never really lets us down, now basically 2 consecutive seasons out, all the best Joe, & Rocky too. I think we have had now 6 players injured since Boxing day! If Walker plays at Salford, that will be 3 different full-backs, and 3 different half-back parings and it will only be the 4th game!
